A New York Magazine piece on Thursday accused female Fox News hosts and Donald Trump supporters of engaging in racist dog whistling by having blonde hair.

“Attributes associated with whiteness — light skin, narrow noses — have dominated American beauty ideals as long as there’s been such a thing,” arguedNY Mag fashion writer Amy Larocca.

“Fox News and Donald Trump have given blonde hair a new chapter,” she wrote. “Now, blonde is the color of the right, for whom whiteness has become a hallmark.”

She argued that liberal icons like Michelle Obama and Rachel Maddow fail to live up to traditional ideals of beauty.

“But #MAGA, Fox News America is a place where all the classic signifiers of privilege and wealth work on overdrive.”

Blonde hair, Larocca argued, was “a dog whistle of whiteness, an unspoken declaration of values, a wink-wink to the power of racial privilege and to the 1980s vibe that pervades a movement led by a man who still believes in the guilt of the Central Park Five.”

“Panicked reports about dangerous immigrants and the president with Hussein for a middle name were presented by white women wearing snug dresses, with pert noses, bronze skin, blonde hair,” she continued.

Larocca argued that because only 2 percent of women are naturally blonde, “being blonde is a choice.”

“She argued that liberal icons like Michelle Obama and Rachel Maddow fail to live up to traditional ideals of beauty”—
I agree with the author when this paragraph taken out of context. Modern (or traditional) ‘ ideas ‘ of beauty would not favor these two. Their beauty is understood by a select few. (Who seem to feel the need to change the entire worlds thoughts…classic of liberalism). If you have to be told what is beauty by someone else it is not beauty but a meaningless artificial catch phrase standard. Cultural standards of beauty change with time. Let it go. Michelle and Rachel are not the definition of beauty. Perpetual victim…move on!
